Our licensing system is similar to Windows Product Activation in that a hash is created for the machine the software is licensed on, sent to us, and we return a self-extracting executable that installs a bunch of license files that are generated for that specific machine. What this means is that every machine has license files with the same name, but which are different. We are currently using WISE to create the installer which installs the license files but I am looking to move it WiX/MSI.
So my plan is to create a WiX project that the licensing system builds whenever it gets a license request. The licensing system will generate the license files and then build the WiX project. I'll create a WixLib with the components for the license files. After the project is built, the licensing system will package the .msi up in a self-extracting zip file for the user to download. Does this seem like a reasonable thing to do with WiX/MSI? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
